From August 6th through the 20th, MetaFilter will not be publishing any new links or comments. But unlike others, this isn't due to any funding situations, I'm simply taking a 2 week vacation with my wife and didn't want to worry about the site. The break will do everyone some good, you can get back to doing work during work hours (or do your best to endure those hours), you can start talking to your spouse again instead of hovering over a mouse hitting "reload" on your browser, and you can spend some time building new projects instead of wasting your energy here, in the black hole of a timesink that MetaFilter has become (kidding!).
